i did this once with oliver..and learned my lesson. never again.
i went into the restraunt of a little cafe and left him tied up just at hte top of this ramp. came out to chaos in the cafe.
"what the HELL is that?" "oh my god its a DOG"
oliver as outside..crying his siren cry ..telling the whole world i left him outside.
i got a toung lashing from the restraunt ..because he was not aloud at the top of the ramp..ony at the bottom..or they could get sued. and i also got 'told' here when i came to relay the story. I LEARNED! NEVER EVER AGAIN. young and stupid i was.

My family's border collie came to college with me, and I once tied him at the top of the stairs to go in to use a restroom. He was not in any danger of being stolen, but his distress at being left put him in danger (for those who aren't thinking this through, from the top a dog can jump and break a leg (short fall, long leash) or hang themselves (long fall, short leash)).

I have thought about leaving my cavaliers tied up while I pop into a store, but the fear that I'll come out and they'll be gone is too great. I can always just visit that store on a day I don't have my dogs.

I have wanted or need to run into a store before and the weather was perfect outside not hot nor cold and I was going to leave Fletcher in the car. He's in a small travel crate and of course I'd lock the doors but I still didn't do it because I didn't want to stress him....even if I was only going to be less than 5 mins. Basically if I would leave my kid I wouldn't leave Fletcher either. I WISH I could leave Mr. Monster in the crate for an hour or so I'm kidding.....maybe not yes I am
